How to turn off TinyMCE in Wordpress
Raw
tinymce_wordpress.txt
In wordpress/wp-includes/class-wp-editor.php, look for the tinymce setting:
public static function parse_settings($editor_id, $settings) {
$set = wp_parse_args( $settings, array(
...
'tinymce' => true, // load TinyMCE, can be used to pass settings directly to TinyMCE using an array()
...
) );
Set it to false and you should be good to go.

Bad juju

ill tell you what's bad juju - the frigging tinymce editor arbitrarily blows away br tags and randomly inserts other things by default. wordpress is unusable to actually edit pages because of the horrible integration with this editor.

I'm reliably informed that this is a bad idea, because updates will overwrite it. Sorry about that, chief!
